Our Report: OpenAI has acquired Global Illumination, a NY-based startup that specializes in using AI to develop digital experiences. This is OpenAI's first public acquisition in approximately seven years of its existence; here’s why it matters:
🔑 Key Points:
Global Illumination was founded by an all-star team who have worked on pivotal projects at major companies like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Google, Pixar, and Riot Games.
The terms of the deal between OpenAI and Global Illumination were not disclosed to the public, and a number has not been mentioned by either party.
This acquisition brings a talented team to drive growth as OpenAI diversifies its product offerings beyond just ChatGPT.
Despite successes, OpenAI strives for a notable commercial triumph as ChatGPT reportedly cost over $540M to develop.
🤨 Why you should care: This acquisition not only brings in a talented team with a proven track record but also may indicate OpenAI's broader intentions to diversify its applications of AI, potentially beyond the conversational AI domain.

A Harvard scientist used Google's cloud platform to replicate a supercomputer for a heart disease study, circumventing the scarcity of powerful computing resources.
